Suggest Remedy For Tiredness,sore Throat,swollen Glands,fever And Headaches

For about a month now i have been feeling really tired, had a sore throat, got swollen glands, been feverish, had head aches and just been aching. At first the doctor thought it was glandular fever and sent me for a blood test but that came back clear. My mum wants me to go for another one because it took 3 blood tests to find out she had it but the doctor won't let me. i just want to find out wants wrong with me. do you think i have glandular fever?

Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tiredness,sore throat,swollen glands,fever and headaches is because due to streptococcal infection leading to strep throat and it could be due to sinusitis or glandular fever. Need not to worry. Avoid cold carbonated beverages. For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water. I would suggest gargle with an antimicrobial mouthwash such as Listerine. You should take steam inhalation with vaporizers. You should take antibiotics like Amoxicillin for 5 days. Avoid spicy, hot and sharp food substances. You should take anti-inflammatory painkiller Ibuprofen for relief from pain and inflammation. Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily. Do warm saline gargles. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages. Visit ENT specialist once and get throat culture and sputum test done to find out exact cause and start treatment accordingly. You should take steam inhalation along with vaporizers. Avoid hot, sharp , spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
